- FIG. 3 shows an example dual porosity model 300 for a source rock reservoir, where the formation is composed of porous kerogen and porous minerals, according to aspects of the present disclosure.
- Other dual porosity models are possible, however, depending on the formation, as would be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in view of this disclosure. Such models may be generated using various wireline or logging measurements described above.
- Each of the portions shown in the dual porosity model 300 may correspond to generic representations of elements of a source rock formation. In other words, the various gasses, fluids, and minerals identified may be dispersed throughout the source rock and are only illustrated as defined portions for ease of modeling.
- porous kerogen may comprise a non-solid volume, ⁇ pk , filled with in-situ generated hydrocarbons, such as oil or gas, consistent with the natural conversion process.
- the porous kerogen may also comprise a solid volume, 1 ⁇ pk , representing the otherwise unconverted portion of the kerogen.
- the non-solid volume of the porous kerogen, ⁇ pk may further correspond to kerogen porosity of the formation, as represented by the volume of porous kerogen gas 301 in the dual porosity model 300 .
- a gas-filled kerogen is shown in dual porosity model 300
- an oil-filled kerogen may also be modeled with a similar model.
- the dual porosity model 300 may comprise a first pore system that includes clay bound water 305 , porous mineral water 307 , and porous mineral gas 306 .
- the water and mineral gas within the first pore system may represent typical byproducts of hydrocarbon production, but byproducts which must be accounted for in formation modeling.
- Above the first pore system is a solid portion that may include non-clay minerals 303 , dry clay minerals 304 , and solid kerogen 302 .
- the non-clay minerals 303 , dry clay mineral 304 s , and solid kerogen 302 may be found interspersed throughout strata of the formation, without definite boundaries.
- the dual porosity model 300 includes the porous kerogen gas 301 .
- Each of the portions of the dual porosity model 300 may be represented by a different bulk volume and bulk density.
- Bulk volume may be characterized as the volume per unit mass of a material.
- Bulk density may be characterized as the mass of particles of the material divided by the total volume they occupy.
- the entire formation represented by the dual porosity model 300 may comprise a bulk density ⁇ b that is a function of the bulk volumes and bulk densities of the constituent portions.
- V pmw , V pmg , V pkg , V cbw , V dc , V ncm , and V sk representing the bulk volumes of the porous mineral water, porous mineral gas, porous kerogen gas, clay bound water, dry clay, non-clay minerals, and solid kerogen, respectively; and with ⁇ w , ⁇ g , ⁇ cbw , ⁇ dc , ⁇ ncm , and ⁇ sk representing the bulk densities of water, gas, clay bound water, dry clay, non-clay minerals, and solid kerogen, respectively.
- the combination V pmg +V pkg of the bulk volumes of porous mineral gas and porous kerogen gas may further be represented as the total volume of gas within the formation, V g .
- Solving for each of the above variables may be computationally difficult to the extent each variable requires a dedicated algorithm, or to the extent the logging tools do not differentiate between different values. Accordingly, solving explicitly for the volume of the porous kerogen gas, and thereby the kerogen porosity, would include complex algorithms that would increase the computational time needed to model the formation. Moreover, there is typically nothing to be gained from solving the equation explicitly for the volumes of both the porous mineral gas and the porous kerogen gas, as the downhole measurement and logging tools do not typically differentiate between these physical volumes from a practical standpoint.
- a method for determining kerogen porosity of a formation for downhole operations may comprise calculating a first formation characteristic and a second formation characteristic at a processor of an information handling system.
- the first formation characteristic may correspond to a total volume of gas of the formation, V g
- the second formation characteristic may correspond to a bulk volume of the solid kerogen of the formation, V sk .
- the elements V g and V sk may be determined by the processor according to an instruction set stored within a memory element coupled to the processor.
- the instruction set may cause the processor to implement complex probabilistic algorithms to determine the elements V g and V sk for a given set of measurement or log data from a downhole measurement or logging tool.
- the method may comprise a separate step of receiving the set of log data from a downhole device at the information handling system, with the set of data being either received directly from the downhole tool or alternatively from a mass storage device coupled via a network to the information handling system.
- the method may further include determining a kerogen porosity of the formation based, at least in part, on the first formation characteristic and the second formation characteristic.
- determining the kerogen porosity may include invoking an inequality constraint.
- ⁇ pk corresponds to a non-solid volume of the porous kerogen of the formation
- 1 ⁇ pk corresponds to a solid volume of the porous kerogen of the formation
- V g corresponds to the first formation characteristic
- V sk corresponds to the second formation characteristic.
- the inequality constraint can be invoked to impose a minimum gas volume boundary condition based on the volume of solid kerogen V sk .
- the inequality constraint can then be solved for the proportion (( ⁇ pk /(1 ⁇ pk ))*V sk , which corresponds to the kerogen porosity of the formation.
- the proportion ( ⁇ pk /(1 ⁇ pk )) may indicate the proportion of the volume of solid kerogen V sk that is non-solid, i.e., porous and filled with hydrocarbon.
- the volume of the porous kerogen gas V pkg may correspond to the proportion of the volume of solid kerogen V sk .
- the variable V pkg in equation 1 may be represented as shown in equation 3, and may be represented as part of the total volume of gas V g in the dual porosity model 300 as shown in equation 4.
- V pkg may correspond to the kerogen porosity of the formation because unlike the mineral porosity, intra-kerogen porosity has never contained any fluid other than generated hydrocarbon.
- V pkg ( ⁇ pk /(1 ⁇ pk ))* V sk Eq. 3:
- V g V pmg +(( ⁇ pk /(( ⁇ pk /(1 ⁇ pk ))* V sk ) Eq. 4:
- V pmg volume of porous mineral gas
- equation 4 may be reduced by removing the V pmg term, which can be used to generate the inequality constraint in equation 2.
- the method may include performing a downhole operation based, at least in part, on the determined kerogen porosity.
- Performing the downhole operation based at least in part on the determined kerogen porosity may include using the determined kerogen porosity within a dual porosity model to calculate additional formation characteristics of the formation. These additional formation characteristics may then be used as part of additional algorithms used to control downhole operations such as stimulation, geosteering, and general drilling.
- Controlling downhole operations may include aiding in the determination to perform downhole operations, or controlling how the downhole operations are performed and where they are directed.
- the system may include a downhole measurement or logging device, similar to the logging tool 112 in FIG. 1 .
- This downhole measurement or logging device may comprise a variety of sensors and may generate thousands of data points related to the surrounding formation.
- the system may further comprise an information handling system coupled to the downhole measurement or logging device, similar to the information handling system described with reference to FIG. 2 .
- the information handling system may comprise a processor and a memory device coupled to the processor.
- the memory device may comprise a hard drive or other similar storage media, and may include a set of instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform complex computations on the thousands of data points related to the surrounding formation.
- the set of instructions may cause the information handling system to calculate based, at least in part on the set of log data, a first formation characteristic and a second formation characteristic; and determine a kerogen porosity of the formation based, at least in part, on the first formation characteristic and the second formation characteristic.
- the calculations of the first formation characteristic and the second formation characteristic may be performed using complex probabilistic algorithms stored within the memory device.
- the first formation characteristic and the second formation characteristic may correspond to a pre-determined dual porosity model generated and stored within the information handling system.
- the set of instructions may further cause the information handling system to invoke an inequality constraint when it determines the kerogen porosity of the formation.
- the inequality constraint may comprise the inequality constraint shown in equation 2, with the first formation characteristic corresponding to a total volume of gas of the formation, V g , and the second formation characteristic corresponding to a bulk volume of the solid kerogen of the formation, V sk .
- the information handling system may output the value of the kerogen porosity once determined, such that it may be used is part to perform subsequent downhole operations.
- the above equations and inequality constraints are equally applicable for oil-producing kerogen.
- the various gas volumes may be replaced with oil volumes within the dual-porosity model, but the inequality constraint in equation 2 may take a similar form.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate calculated results of kerogen porosity from a probabilistic solver, according to aspects of the present disclosure.
- the results shown in FIG. 4 were obtained without imposing an inequality constraint on the porous kerogen as it relates to the total volume of gas within the source rock.
- oil and solid kerogen volumes are treated as independent variables, leading to several occurrences of a zero oil volume observation in the oil volume column where non-zero solid kerogen volumes were calculated in the porous kerogen column.
- FIG. 4 oil and solid kerogen volumes are treated as independent variables, leading to several occurrences of a zero oil volume observation in the oil volume column where non-zero solid kerogen volumes were calculated in the porous kerogen column.

with Vpmw, Vpmg, Vpkg, Vcbw, Vdc, Vncm, and Vsk representing the bulk volumes of the porous mineral water, porous mineral gas, porous kerogen gas, clay bound water, dry clay, non-clay minerals, and solid kerogen, respectively; and with ρw, ρg, ρcbw, ρdc, ρncm, and ρsk representing the bulk densities of water, gas, clay bound water, dry clay, non-clay minerals, and solid kerogen, respectively. The combination Vpmg+Vpkg of the bulk volumes of porous mineral gas and porous kerogen gas may further be represented as the total volume of gas within the formation, Vg. Solving for each of the above variables may be computationally difficult to the extent each variable requires a dedicated algorithm, or to the extent the logging tools do not differentiate between different values. Accordingly, solving explicitly for the volume of the porous kerogen gas, and thereby the kerogen porosity, would include complex algorithms that would increase the computational time needed to model the formation. Moreover, there is typically nothing to be gained from solving the equation explicitly for the volumes of both the porous mineral gas and the porous kerogen gas, as the downhole measurement and logging tools do not typically differentiate between these physical volumes from a practical standpoint.

As will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art, once Vg and Vsk are known, the inequality constraint can be invoked to impose a minimum gas volume boundary condition based on the volume of solid kerogen Vsk. The inequality constraint can then be solved for the proportion ((φpk/(1−φpk))*Vsk, which corresponds to the kerogen porosity of the formation.
